PHP - Handling Data Not Gathered In Form
This is a tough one to summarize - especially in the Subject?!
I need to insert a Comment which consists of: * article_id * member_id * body * status * created_on * approved_on * updated_on Only the "body" field is gathered from my "Add a Comment" form, and everything else either comes from the $_SESSION or from NOW() I am wondering if it would be easier to do Error-Handling and what-not if I created an Input for at least the first 4 fields above and populated the "Value" of those fields that already have values (e.g. "member_id")?? Then when the user clicks "Add a Comment", I can check all of the values in $_POST and handle everything in a uniform way, if you follow my new thinking?! Debbie Similar TutorialsI am learning how to use PHP to handle input in a Contact Form on my website. Using PHP I can send the form data to my email client. However I cannot achieve the outcome of sending a copy to the email address of the submitter. I have searched the Internet particularly Stack Overflow and have found code that I am told will achieve this outcome Here is the code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "email@example.com"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$subject = "Form submission";
$subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
$message = $first_name . " " . $last_name . " wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $first_name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
mail($from,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
// echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $first_name . ", we will contact you shortly."; OR
// You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.
}
?>
Adjusting it for my own circumstances and settings it will still send the information in the form to me but will not send the information to the submitter's email address. What is particularly confusing is, if I modify the code by taking out this line of code mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); Which includes my email address ($to), it still works and the information including ($subject) is still sent to my email address. I would appreciate any assistance that anyone would offer This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=333815.0 Hello i'm a quite the novice when in comes to php so bear with me. I have information stored in php variables, and i'm wondering what is the best way to get that information to a html page to be put a a table or something. essentially I don't want to include the php code on the html page, but still somehow execute the php and get the information the the html page. A form needs to get answers of math quiz, returning numbers, up to 2 digits after the point. In all form examples I noticed the usage of: Code: [Select] ...<input type="text" name="name" /... Cant it be a number? floating or integer? why "text" ? Also, can I limit the form to accept numerical input only or would I need to learn Ajax for that? Once I have the answer, I need to compare it to the correct answer. The method I have in mind is to multiply the answer and the correct one by 100 and compare the integer part. Is there a pre-made function that can do the same? Hi Guys, Can someone please tell me why no echo statements work after my heredoc :? Here's the code: Code: [Select] <?php switch($_POST['options']){ case '1': $selected1 = 'selected'; break; case '2': $selected2 = 'selected'; break; case '3': $selected3 = 'selected'; break; case '4': $selected4 = 'selected'; break; default: $selected1 = $selected2 = $selected3 = $selected4 = ''; } echo <<<END <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("I am an alert box!"); } function formSubmit() { document.getElementById("frm1").submit(); } </script> </head> <body> <form id="frm1" method="post" action="search.php" /> <select onclick="formSubmit()" name="options" size="1"> <option $selected1 value="1">date</option> <option $selected2 value="2">year</option> <option $selected3 value="3">country</option> <option $selected4 value="4">language</option> </ select> </body> </html> </form> END; if(isset($_POST['options'])){ echo "item chosen"; } It works when I put the 'isset' if clause before the heredoc and even weirder, if i add a submit input type in the form as the last field it works as is? ex: Code: [Select] <?php switch($_POST['options']){ case '1': $selected1 = 'selected'; break; case '2': $selected2 = 'selected'; break; case '3': $selected3 = 'selected'; break; case '4': $selected4 = 'selected'; break; default: $selected1 = $selected2 = $selected3 = $selected4 = ''; } echo <<<END <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("I am an alert box!"); } function formSubmit() { document.getElementById("frm1").submit(); } </script> </head> <body> <form id="frm1" method="post" action="search.php" /> <select onclick="formSubmit()" name="options" size="1"> <option $selected1 value="1">date</option> <option $selected2 value="2">year</option> <option $selected3 value="3">country</option> <option $selected4 value="4">language</option> <input type="submit"> </ select> </body> </html> </form> END; if(isset($_POST['options'])){ echo "item chosen"; } Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers D Hello everyone, I've recently asked a question about forms and Requinix mentioned PRG method of processing forms. The PRG idea solves my refresh and back button document expired problems but i notice something new: when i refresh a page or use the browser back button - then return to the PRG process - repeat a refresh or back button action - i notice that i can traverse the cache history as many times as my prg approach redirects me. I feel like i am not implementing this PRG method correctly, or is this correct? Here is the form process if it helps solve the problem: i have a login form which contains a CSRF token. when i submit the form i specify an action as /prg/ which submits the data to index.php in the prg folder. After processing the data, prg index.php redirects to the root (because you are logged in). One problem is that i have a logo on the login page that allows you to return to the root (localhost index page). When the form is not submitted or it contaiuns incorrect login data or the logo is clicked to return to homepage, then the history seems to repeat itself. I've read that people recommend to use a header 303 See Other but the result is the same. Basiclly, if i am implementing a prg correctly, then the question becomes how can i instruct a browser to ignore the redirect as if the cache contains only the index page? i cannot find prg examples that involve a csrf token and other links on the protected page (prg/index.php protected because you need a form submission with a csrf token and it only processes data then redirects.) I don't see this happening in professional sites like Google or Microsoft etc. what am i doing wrong? Not sure why the PHP variables in the code below aren't interpreting the values that they should be receiving from the HTML form. HTML form Code: [Select] <form action="handle_form.php" method="post"> <fieldset><legend>Enter your information in the form below</legend> <p><b>Name:</b> <input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="40" /></p> <p><b>Email Address:</b> <input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="60" /></p> <p><b>Gender:</b> <input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" /> Male <input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" /> Female</p> <p><b>Age:</b> <select name="age"> <option value="0-29">Under 30</option> <option value="30-60">Between 30 and 60</option> <option value="60+">Over 60</option> </select> </p> <p><b>Comments:</b> <textarea name="comments" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea></p> </fieldset> <div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sumbit My Information" /></div> </form> PHP handle_form <?php #Script 2.2 handle_form.php $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $comments = $_REQUEST['comments']; echo "<p>Thank you, <b>$name</b>, for the following comments:<br /> <tt>$comments</tt></p> <p> We will reply to you at <i>$email</i>.</p>"; ?> I am totally newbie, doing my first project, after reading a PHP book. The page I am trying to build is like a quiz: displays a simple form, get answers and display "Good/bad answer". This is easy, but the form needs to continue based on the first answers, something like 5-6 more steps. Each step depends on the data from the previous steps. Can I still use the approach like the example below? What happens to the variables when the PHP script is re-visited? can I assume their values are still valid? // The example I thought I will use: <?php // if form not yet submitted, display form if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { ?> <form ................................................. . </form> <?php // if form submitted // process form input } else { ..... $num = $_POST['num']; .......... } else { echo ' my message ............................ } ?> Hello All, I am building a web based data entry project for my University Recycling Department 1) In the first level the user will enter the number of "rows" that he has to enter it can be any number form 4- 10 .

Do you set an "action" to the same form and then handle errors somewhere? Do you use a separate script to process validation? What standards do you apply for the position of the error messages? Do you alter the "look" of any fields in errors (make them red for example)? Do you have a good standard strategy that can be applied for all forms in a re-usable fashion? Perhaps using functions? I am looking for a robust, user friendly (and coder friendly come to that) solution to this frequently encountered situation. Many thanks for any help. S I have a form on our website that a user can fill out for custom product. I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department. 1) The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason) 2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly. I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your analysis. I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly. Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance. I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine. If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.

} ?> Am new here - looks like a great foru! I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have been trying to solve my problem for hours and I am not having any luck, so I thought I would post and see if anyone can help. I am very stuck and am not making much progress on this project, and I am certain the answer is very simple. I am constructing a form to collect data for a specialized purpose. The form and program actually work for its intended function, but I am trying to enhance the user experience by preventing customers from having to reenter all of their data should there be a problem with any of the data submitted. I have been able to do that with the contact form portion, but what I am having trouble with is the portion which has as many as 400 possible entries. So, in a nutshell, if the customers contact data is incomplete or in error, the form will ask them to return to the page and correct things. The previous data entered has been saved in the session and the input value will equal the previous entry. i.e. <tr> <td align="right" class="infoBox"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></td> <td align=left><?php echo "<input type=text name='cemail' value=\"$cemail\" size=35 maxlength=35>" ?></td> </tr> Works perfectly, all well and good there. On the other 400 more or less entries, I am having a difficult time tweaking the string concatenation to work to achieve similar results. There are 4 columns each with $points entries asking for a dimension in either feet or inches. The <input name=> is one of ptaf,ptai,ptbf,ptbi, appended programatically with the corresponding row number or data point. i.e. "ptaf1", "ptai1", etc... This is produced by the example below and works perfectly also. <?php { $points=100; $i=1; while ($i <= $points) {echo ' <tr><td align="center" width="6"><b> ' .$i . '</b></td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptaf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptai'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptbf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptbi'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> '; $i++; } } ?> I am trying to add <input value=$ptai.$i> for each field but as I mentioned I am not having any luck. It seems as if I have tried every combination imagineable, but still no luck. My head is spinning! The closest I seem to have gotten was with this: <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" size=6 maxlength=3 name="ptaf'.$i.'" value="' . "$ptaf" . $i . '" ></td> But line 17 for example returns this: <input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6"> To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may have entered previously. Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need clarification on anything please let me know. Thanks AJ Say there is a complex opt in process where people start to enter their data but certain questions stop them where they close out of the page. They already entered their data and I feel there is a way to grab it and post it to mysql even though they do not click submit.
How would this be done?
A super simple example (proof of concept) or a link to a tutorial would be very useful.
Edited by brentman, 23 September 2014 - 10:42 AM. Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you. Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one. FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you: The HTML with the PHP codes: Code: [Select] <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { //Assigning variables to elements $first = htmlentities($_POST['first']); $last = htmlentities($_POST['last']); $sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']); $email = htmlentities($_POST['email']); $web = htmlentities($_POST['website']); $heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']); $comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']); $cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']); //Declaring the email address with body content $to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com'; $body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'"; //Validate the forms if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) { echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>'; header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php'); return false; } elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) { echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!($cap === '12')){ echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>'; return false; } else { mail ($to, $sub, $body); echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>'; } } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p> <p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p> <p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p> <p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p> <p>Website:</p> <p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p> <p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><select name="heard"> <option>Internet</option> <option>Newspapers</option> <option>Friends or relatives</option> <option>Others</option> </select></p> <p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p> <p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p> <p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/> <input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p> </form> SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form. THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing! There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content. The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization, it's for children. I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it. Code snipets below. Any help, please use portions of this code in hopes I can understand it Thanks Code snipet from Output.php Code: [Select] <?php $t1image = $_POST["t1image"]; $t1title = $_POST["t1title"]; $t1info = $_POST["t1info"]; $t2image = $_POST["t2image"]; $t2title = $_POST["t2title"]; $t2info = $_POST["t2info"]; ?> ... <tbody> <tr><!--Headers--> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Animal</td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Image thumb<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Date<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Information<br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Monkey </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t1image.'.gif'; ?>"><!--single image presented selected from radio buttons--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?><!--time stamp generated when submitted form populates all fields at once--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#monkey" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t1title ?></a><!--Link name provided by "Title 1", that links to hidden Div generated page with content from "Info1" field--> <div id="Monkey" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t1info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Cat<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t2image.'.gif'?>"></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#Cat" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t2title ?></a> <div id="Cat" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t2info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> This replicates several times down the page around 15-20 times ( t1### - t20###) Code Snipet from HTML Form Code: [Select] <form action="animals.php" method="post"> <div style="text-align: left;"><big style="font-family: Garamond; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><big><big><span>Monkey</span></big></big></big><br> <table style="text-align: left; width: 110px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;">Image thumb<br> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="No opinion" checked><img src="eh.gif" alt="Eh"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Ok"><img src="ok.gif" alt="ok"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Like"><img src="like.gif" alt="Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Dont"><img src="dont.gif" alt="Don't Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Hate"><img src="hate.gif" alt="Hate"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Other"><img src="other.gif" alt="Other"> <br> Why Title:<input type="text" name="t1title" size="45" value="..."/></td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> Explain:<br> <textarea name="t1info" cols=45 rows=3 value="..."></textarea> </td></tr></table> <br> <!--Next--> How do I get the Form data to save to the php page for others to view? This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=326600.0 i'm trying to access the data he file.html Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Online Marketing Calculators</title> </head> <body> <center> <h1>Online Marketing Calculators</h1> <h4> ROI Caclulator</h4> <form action="calculators.php" method="post"> <p>Total Cost : <input type="text" name="cost"> Total Income: <input type="text" name="income"></p> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </center> </body> </html> file.php <?php if(isset($_REQUEST['cost'])) { echo $_REQUEST['cost']; } else { echo "Please Enter Cost"; } ?> And it's not working. Any Ideas? Would someone please help me understand how data is sent from an HTML form to the server? If I have a simple HTML form that appears on someone's computer, how is the data sent to the server that PHP is on? TomTees Sorry if I asked this before in some variant, but I had to put my OOP studies aside for a few weeks, so here I go again?! I am trying to learn OOP and would like to take the data submitted in a form and put it into an object so I can pass that to other objects and do stuff with said data in OOP terms. My *limited* understanding of things so far is this... If I have form "registration.php", when the user clicks 'Submit' then data from the form gets populated immediately in the $_POST array and control would go to the action page... I would like to take - password - name into a generic object called FormHandler. (Maybe this isn't how the OOP gurus would do it, but hmor me as I am trying to learn elementary OOP, and use something that works for me.) So how would I go about doing that? All I can think is to have an action page called "form_handler.php" and when the user submits the form in "registration.php" then "form_handler.php" would instantiate FormHandler which would assign the $_POST array into either its own array or into individual variables. Maybe something like... class FormHandler{ private $someArray(); // OR private $email; private $password; private $name; function __construct() { $this->someArray = $_POST(); // OR $this->email = $_POST['email']; $this->password = $_POST['password']; $this->name = $_POST['name']; } } Feel free to tell me what you think of my code and idea, and please be nice because I have never written any OOP before and it is hard to break my old procedural ways!
